Legend has it that Humphrey Bogart was making the war movie Sahara in 1943 when he ate these brownies. The movie was filmed in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in California. Bogart was served these brownies at the Planter’s Hotel in Brawley, California. He liked them so much he asked and received the recipe. Bogart would have this recipe baked time and time again on his movie sets.

Love this toffee top brownie topping!
Basic Fudge Brownie Recipe with toffee top
Add this step to the Basic Fudge Brownie recipe. Add 1/3 cup of toffee chips to the top of the brownie batter in the pan right before you bake. I add 2 minutes to the cooking time for this topping.
Ingredients
1 pound unsalted butter
1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, divided
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
6 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons instant coffee powder
2 tablespoons real vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided (1 cup for batter and 1/4 cup in the chips and nuts)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups diced walnut pieces
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13 by 18 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan.
Melt together the butter, 1 pound chocolate chips, and unsweetened chocolate on top of a double boiler. Cool slightly. Stir together the eggs, instant coffee, vanilla and sugar. Stir in the warm chocolate mixture and cool to room temperature.
Stir together 1 cup of the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips with 1/4 cup flour to coat. Then add to the chocolate batter. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until tester just comes out clean. Halfway through the baking, rap the pan against the oven shelf to allow air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Do not over-bake! Cool thoroughly, refrigerate well and cut into squares.

2 tablespoons Water

1/2 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
2 Eggs
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2/3 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt

- Easy to Bake
Recipe Steps
Step 1 – Add Sugar and water into a sauce pan. Warm on Med Low heat to start melting the sugar. As the water heats up add the butter. Stir so the mixture does not burn. If it starts to boil large bubble turn down heat. We want a smooth even heat to melt the sugar but not to get the mixture too hot. (If it were to get too hot the eggs would cook the instant we added them.)
A couple of months ago, I went to my friend Christine’s baby shower. The food theme was “babyQ”, so they had baby back ribs and baby-sized burgers. And I contributed some baby-sized
Sitting on the back patio, I watched as her brother pulled rack after rack of saucy ribs off of the grill and my mind went blank. All I could think was “Mmm…ribs” which can be loosely translated as “Holy mother of all things delicious, I gotta eat those now!”
After the shower, I asked Christine to share the recipe for the ribs because they were some of the best I’ve eaten. Not only did she share it with me, she graciously gave me permission to share it with you all saying: “these ribs should be shared!”
So here you go: Ribs a la Christine. Easy and does not require a smoker or a grill. Perfect for a party or just cause you’re in the mood for bbq love.
Let’s make some ribs!
Start with a rack or 2 of ribs. (These are baby back pork ribs). Also, preheat your oven to 250 degrees.
You can use any kind of rub or seasoning you want. Christine said they used
A word of caution: don’t put too much liquid in the pan. You will need to be able to move this pan around and carry it to the counter or whatever when it is hot. Too much liquid = more likely to slosh and spill hot liquid on you. So be careful.
Mmm… ribs.
